How good will Daniels be at 4.5 232lbs and 6'4? We all know dude brah recruited too many receivers for 1 team and decided to move a top 20 receiver to tight end to cover his ass..... But seriously, how good is this future NFL wide out?

    The young man will likely be playing the football position of wide receiver unless he has been consuming a similar amount of food to that of his former coach, Steve Sarkisian.

    If I was that kid I would seriously consider putting on even more weight. If he can get over 250 and keep his speed around 4.6 the NFL will fall in love with him.

    No matter what he does, I trust Peterman will figure out the best way to utilize him.

    Dude can't catch. He's an olb/SS/pass rusher. What good is a fast dude with stone hands. Let him club the qb

    What do you base this on ? He was never thrown to during games.

    So you are basing this off of Doogman reports or you are full of shit. I'm going with abundance.

    This. He can't catch because that's what Biggins an guys who saw him said. It wasn't the doogman trio saying this, it was every single guy fr scout, rivals, and espn. I also watched his video and he catches like a retard.

    Hands and catching can be slightly improved, but you either have it or you don't. The kids on the playground that sucked at catching when teu were little, sucked when they were older no matter how much football they played. If he could catch he would have been the #1 WR in the country because very few guys are as big and fast as him.

    I think his scout profile goes something like this..."when you throw in his ability to catch everything thrown his way......"

    It does. Then they all said he can't catch. I could be wrong, but do you think a guy 6'4" 225 wouldn't play of he had good hands? Something is missing.

    I put no stock into what fetters and Eklund say, but there were multiple TBS experts from different networks saying his hands were suspect. He also dropped way down in the rankings which is something they are normally hesitant to do.

    He'll either develop solid pass receiving skills or he won't. Either way it will be fuck off.

    If Stringfellow gets salvaged then this guy isn't really needed at WR. He's as big and maybe faster than Stringfellow but you can see the sparkling polish String has as a receiver and I agree that Daniels will never reach that level if he was rough coming in. It's more than just hands. It's timing, positioning, judging balls, manipulating coverage, etc.

    Can we speculate this about the mystery surrounding Daniels' suspect ball catching skills: the kid showed up at one of those no-count, prep all-star post season games and struggled to catch the damn ball because airline food disagreed with his gut, or something. And ergo, the recruiting media experts watching this one game must decide that Daniels has suddenly contracted an incurable case of concrete hands? Either that or Daniels is having girlfriend problems, or flunking freshman English 101, etc. Who the fuck cares? Run the damn ball up the gut!

    Pretty sure that you can learn to catch the ball through more and more reps ... not that fucking hard.

    That being said, he could very easily be the next Kam Chancellor if he played S ...

    Not true. You can get better, but body control, adjusting to the ball, and all that is pretty natural.

    You can tell me I'm an idiot if I'm wrong, but this guy will never be a go to WR.

    I think Pete is pretty smart, and won't let a superior athlete like that waste away on the bench. He, unlike Dude Brah, knows how to maximize talent. If Daniels doesn't find the field soon, it's because he is just not a good football player - anywhere.
  • TequillaTequilla Member Posts: 19,939
    I don't think that we have enough information at this point to know whether he can make it as a WR ... I don't look at these 7 on 7 camps and All-Star drills as the end all be all.

    You are right that body control, adjusting to the ball, etc. is a lot based on natural ability. I do think you can get better with that with reps. But you aren't going to work yourself into being Jerry Rice through reps.

    I do think that he's got a greater upside on defense than offense though ... he could very easily turn himself into an All-Conference defender.
